How to get a list of "issues in epic" in Jira

vaishali saraf

We link issues to Epic in Jira.

2 ways to add a bug in epic

1) From a bug – click 'More' => click link and select "Related to" and type in the epic number.

Now the issues will be related to the epic.

To get a list of linked issues

issue in linkedIssues("ABC-123") – works.<br>

2) From bug screen click "Edit" and add epic link.

When we do that the bug is seen "issues in this epic" section.

How to get a list of the the "Issues in this epic" with their key and current status.?

thanks

hi @vaishali saraf ,

Epic link is majorly used to link a story .

Query can be like this for a story:

issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("project = ABC", "is Epic of")

Bugs can be linked to an epic with 'Relate' as well.

For 'Relate' issue link , the outward and inward description is same 'Relates to' by default.

If you want them to be separately defined , edit the description under issues tab with admin rights.

Once you have new links towards the epics from bug, use the same query 'issuelinks'.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer .

issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("project =RDPROG" , "is Epic of")

When I tried above query... I got

"Field 'issuefunction' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

Sorry... I am struggling here a bit.

One this is not clear ...Where should I give the number of epic ( Issue key) whose issues I want to display.

How about ("Epic Link" = ABC-123)? Should be as easy as that. Maybe I've got you wrong.

Michael Schlueter (secunet)

For the issuefunction you need the Script Runner Plugin.

unknown

And if you have multiples;

"Epic Link" in (ABC-123,EFG-123, ABC-456,etc...)

If you don't want to list all the EPICs then: "Epic Link" is not EMPTY

Then export the info to excel and rock-on!

You are absolutely right, however, I actually found benefit from the given answer using linkedIssuesOf(), because my list of Epics is itself derived using a filter, and so can't be hardcoded like is done here.

Joel_usauwx

everytime i try to do anything advanced in JQL i come back to... "go get the script Runner Plugin". This is not cool.

Mel Dett

I have a query to derive the Epics in which I want the linked issues. Is there a way to list the linked issues within the query that derives my Epics? I'd like to do this with just one query. seems I should be able to. I do not yet have script runner. I tried linkedIssuesOf() but keep getting operator errors. Like you the query derives the Epics.

This may help:

issue in issuesParents("project = ABC or project = ABD")

It lists all items related to each epic under the projects.

issue in childIssuesOf (epic key)

The above worked perfectly for me. Replace epic key with your own info. The name of the Epic will not work, even in quotes.

Brian Oconnell_yzmwhf

"Unable to find JQL function 'childIssuesOf(abc-123)'."

Nikhil_Gupta

Just Use the search keyword Epic Link and give the id of Epic, like this:

"Epic Link" = ABC-123 , or
"Epic Link" in (ABC-123, PQR-456, JQL-946)

No need to add quotes ("") in the Epic ids.

Humberto Nunez

Thank you Nikhil. Worked perfectly!

issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("key = ABC-123", "is Epic of")

An alternative answer.

Mario Binder

Unable to find JQL function issuesParents

Michael Schlueter (secunet)

I think this JQL function is provided by the AM utils app available on the Jira marketplace.

Nikhil_Gupta

@Mario Binder See if this solution helps

Mario Binder

@Nikhil_Gupta Thanks. For my case works this:

issue = ITE-48 OR parentEpic = ITE-48 ORDER BY createdDate ASC

Priya Martin

Is it possible to use a query in place of hardcoding a specific epic issue key?

Nancy Stronczek

We don't have Scriptrunner or any other add-in to help with JQL. I'm using Jira Cloud (no version # specified in the About dialog), and this is what worked for me today in the Advanced Search JQL builder bar:

project = XYZ AND issue in linkedIssues("XZY-123") ORDER BY priority DESC, updated DESC

brbojorque

Yes, essentially the first parameter can be any JQL expression, however be careful of putting complex JQL because it may affect the performance.

It is worth noting that this is a ScriptRunner function.

Thank you @brbojorque

I am trying to create a query and doesn't work. This query is compose for 2 criteria, one criteria is in Epic and another criteria is in task. Is it possible ? When use only criteria (epic or task), it's OK, it works very well, but I combine both criteria doesn't work, why ? Is there any function or someone help me ? Thanks in advanced.

It's not, it's a Scriptrunner function.
